Dr. Samir Kumar Panigrahi, Principal

Our college started its corporate life with handful of students, limited faculty, little property, but a determined mission of imparting higher education and keeping cultural heritage intact. It is our collective efforts, that make this college such a vibrant place to learn, to work, and to explore. Students choose our college for many reasons: the reputation of our faculty, the quality of our academic programs, the individual attention they will receive from faculty and staff, and the wealth of campus activity. Closely supervised study in an intellectually and culturally stimulating environment, together with an emphasis on student welfare and close contact between staff and students, ensures that individual students get maximum support. Backed by a system which ensures that quality is constantly monitored and standards are reviewed and maintained.

MESSAGE TO PARENTS
Ultimate achievement of parents is to make the lives of our children valuable by practicising the values of life.
Following points need to be understood by every parent.
  • Do keep in regular touch with the teacher guardian of your son/daughter.
  • Be aware of your son/daughter’s academic progress especially attendance, internal assessment and marks in the New college examinations.
  • Remit all the payments like tuition fees, hostel facility fee directly to The New College in time.
  • Be aware of your son/daughter’s monthly expenditure and mode of expenditure.
  • We may need to contact you sometimes urgently especially in case of accidents and emergency. Hence it is essential that any change in address, phone numbers and e-mail be informed promptly to the college.
  • Do not encourage your son/daughter to extend their holiday and stay at home when he/she visits the family during vacation. He/she may end up with attendance shortage.
  • It is wiser that you visit your son/daughter once in a way instead of the student visiting the family frequently so that his/her studies go uninterrupted.
  • Do not provide the student with a two wheeler or a four wheeler especially in the formative years.
  • Please keep us informed, if the student has a history of illness (physical or mental). Students are covered under Medicare and are entitled for treatment in our own hospital, which is well equipped and is a tertiary referral hospital.
  • In case of health problems for minor illness, the students can attend outpatient health clinic and get treated. If the ill-health warrants inpatient care, the student will be admitted. For minor ailments with short stay the parents may not be informed, but in case of emergencies, they will be informed as early as possible. Students are covered under Medicare and these rules are made clear at the time of admission. Medicare renewal needs to be done promptly.
  • Students should stay in the hostels provided in the campus. Staying outside the campus independently has its own demerits and parent should discuss the matter with the teacher guardian before consenting.
  • It is imperative that parents keep in regular touch with the institution officials especially in case of poor academic performers.
  • Students are not permitted to use mobile handsets with camera. The equipment shall be confiscated if student is found to possess it.
MESSAGE TO STUDENTS
All fields of life come out with flying colours through self discipline and hard working.
  • To become a good professional, the student should be very clear in his/her ambition and set appropriate goals for themselves.
  • The priorities for the day should be clear in the mind.
  • Proper time management is very essential (with proper time management a student can easily have 3 hours of relaxation per day and read for 5 hours per day).
  • Mind and body should be kept active. Priorities and ambition may be forgotten if relaxation (though important) is overdone.
  • Attendance and internal assessment are two valuable tools to monitor the academic progress of a student. To avoid anxiety and tension before exam one should maintain a good record of attendance and internal assessment. Though 100% attendance is essential, 25% absenteeism is permitted to cover ill health and family commitments.
  • It is advisable that students stay only in the hostels. When in hostels, they are expected to abide by the hostel rules and regulations. It is mandatory to keep the warden informed in case if the student is visiting a friend or relative and is going to be away from the hostel for more than a day. Students should not keep costly and valuable items in the room.
  • The behaviour of the student in and around the campus should befit the noble profession they have opted for. Lab coats (apron) should be worn only inside the campus.
  • Talented students in the field of sports and cultural activities should identify themselves with sports and cultural committee of the college. Good hobbies should not be forgotten.
  • Students should make an effort to learn the local language, as they have to deal with patients.
  • During clinical postings, should behave appropriately when dealing with patients.
  • Students are expected to observe the dress code of the University.
  • Indiscipline will be dealt with as per rules and the nature of punishment can vary from suspension to dismissal from the institute.
